An investigation was performed to predict residual stress redistribution for the crack propagation initially through tensile residual stress field. The analytical method, which is based on Dugdale model by finite element analysis using elastic analysis method considering the superposition principle, was proposed to estimate the redistribution of residual stress caused by crack propagation. The various aspect of distribution of residual stress caused by crack propagation was examined based on the configuration change of specimen. The analysis results show that the aspect of redistribution of residual stress caused by crack propagation depends on the width of the specimen provided that the initial distribution of residual stress is identical.

In this paper we consider finite element methods for nonlinear hyperbolic integro-differential problems defined in ${\Omega}\;{\subset}\;R^d(d\;{\leq}\;4)$. A new initial approximation of $u_t(0)$ is taken. Optimal order error estimates in $L_p$ for $2\;{\leq}\;p\;{\leq}\;{\infty}$ are established for arbitrary order finite element. One order superconvergence in $W^{1,p}$ for $2\;{\leq}\;p\;{\leq}\;{\infty}$ are demonstrated as well.

This paper presents a spatial catenary cable element for the nonlinear analysis of cable-supported structures. An incremental-iterative solution based on the Newton-Raphson method is adopted for solving the equilibrium equation. As a result, the element stiffness matrix and nodal forces are determined, wherein the effect of self-weight and pretension are taken into account. In the case of the initial cable tension is given, an algorithm for form-finding of cable-supported structures is proposed to determine precisely the unstressed length of the cables. Several classical numerical examples are solved and compared with the other available numerical methods or experiment tests showing the accuracy and efficiency of the present elements.

The Purpose of this paper is to evaluate the buckling strength of conceptually designed KALIMER reactor vessel. For evaluation of the buckling load buckling load the design equations and the finite element analysis are used. In finite element method the eigenvalue buckling analysis nonlinear elastic buckling analysis using snap-through buckling method and nonlinear elastic-plastic buckling analysis are carried out. the calculated buckling loads of KALIMER reactor vessel using the finite element method are in well agreement with those of the design equations. From the calculated results of buckling load in KALIMER rector vessel it is shown that the plasticity of vessel materials significantly affects the buckling load but the initial imperfection has little effects, In checking the limits of bucking load of KALIMER reactor vessel using the ASME B & PV Section III. Subsection NH the non-seismic isolation design can not satisfy the buckling limit requirements but the seismic isolation design can sufficiently satisfy the requirements.

The deformations of polycrystalline materials are modelled by linking a constitutive equation for the crystallographic slip of a single crystal to the macroscopic behavior of the aggregate. In this study, anisotropic elasticity (lattice stretching) of a cubic crystal is incoporated into the anisotropic plasticity from crystallographic slip. The constitutive description for the aggregate, derived from a crystal plasticity theory, is used to formulate a Consistent Penalty Finite Element Method for the anisotropic elasto-viscoplastic deformation of polycrystalline materials. As an application, a plane-strain forging process is simulated and the effects of the initial textures on the deformation behavior of the workpiece are examined.

A finite element program using degenerated shell element was developed to solve the geometric, material and combined nonlinear behaviors of composite laminated plates. The total Lagrangian method was implemented for geometric nonlinear analysis. The material nonlinear behavior was analyzed by considering the matrix degradation due to the progressive failure in the matrix and matrix-fiber interface after initial failure. The results of the geometric nonlinear analyses showed good agreements with the other exact and numerical solutions. The results of the combined nonlinear analyses considered both geometric and material nonlinear behaviors were compared to the experiments in which a concentrated force was applied to the center of the square laminated plate with clamped four edges.

In a finite element analysis of the metal forming processes having large plastic deformation, largely distorted elements are unstable and hence they influence upon the result toward negative way so that adaptive remeshing is required to avoid a failure in the numerical computation. Therefore automatic mesh generation and regeneration is very important to avoid a numerical failure in a finite element analysis. In case of generating quadrilateral mesh, the automation is more difficult than that of triangular mesh because of its geometric complexity. However its demand is very high due to the precision of analysis. Thus, in this study, an automatic quadrilateral mesh generation and regeneration method using grid-based approach is developed. The developed method contains decision of grid size to generate initial mesh inside a two dimensional domain, classification of boundary angles and inner boundary nodes to improve element qualities in case of concave domains, and boundary projection to construct the final mesh.

The aim of regularization of a structural configuration is to obtain a structure that consists of elements with identical or nearly identical length. And it is also possible to modify the configuration in a manner that the size of the elements vary in accordance with a specified pattern. For practical purpose, geodesic dome is cut off at a suitable place in order to make it fit on horizontal. Inevitably this pattern effects a change of element lengths. The purpose of this study is to verify a method for regularization of structural configuration by genetic algorithms and modify the element lengths of the dome. As a result of regularization of domes with various rise-span ratio, modified configurations have more regular element lengths and are more economical than initial configurations.

This paper studies the response of seismic behavior of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints under reversal loading with different anchorages and joint core details. The joint core was detailed without much confinement (group-I) and/or with proposed X-cross bars in the core (group-II). The beam longitudinal reinforcement's anchorages were designed as per ACI 352 (headed bars), ACI 318 (conventional $90^{\circ}$ bent hooks) and IS 456 ($90^{\circ}$ bent hooks with extended tails). The nonlinear finite element analysis response of the beam-column joints was studied, along with initial and progressive cracks up to failure. The experimental and analytical results were compared and presented in this paper to make more scientific conclusions.

The high precision analysis by the p-version of the finite element method are fairly well established as highly efficient method for linear elastic problems, especially in the presence of stress singularity. It has been noted that the merits of p-version are accuracy, modeling simplicity, robustness, and savings in user's and CPU time. However, little has been done to exploit their benefits in elasto-plastic analysis. In this paper, the p-version finite element model is proposed for the materially nonlinear analysis that is based on the incremental theory of plasticity, the associated flow rule, and von-Mises yield criteria. To obtain the solution of nonlinear equation, the Newton-Raphson method and initial stiffness method, etc are used. Several numerical examples are tested with the help of the square plates with cutout, the thick-walled cylinder under internal pressure, and the center cracked plate under tensile loading. Those results are compared with the there cal solutions and the numerical solutions of ADINA software.
